Centralized observability has accelerated incident resolution and currently improves release monitoring
Overall, Edge Delta is a strong observability platform, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One area is dashboard and reporting customization. The platform provides useful operational insights, but having more flexibility to create highly tailored views for different teams would be beneficial. Another area is onboarding and usability. Observability platforms can be complex, especially for new users, so additional guided workflows, recommendations, and learning resources could help teams become productive more quickly. Deeper integration visibility would be useful as well. Many organizations use multiple monitoring, logging, and incident management tools, so having even better cross-platform correlation and troubleshooting workflows would add value. On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows. More granular cost optimization insights and usage visibility would help organizations better understand how data consumption impacts cost and where optimizations can be made. The platform is strong in its core capabilities. The improvements I would prioritize would be deeper ecosystem integrations, enhanced cost visibility, and more intelligent automation to help teams act on observability data more efficiently.

Comprehensive monitoring has improved performance, capacity planning, and multi-source log analysis
VMware Aria Operations for Logs would be used to completely monitor the health of your environment. Second is to understand your existing capacity and forecast your capacity for the next year or so. Third would be on performance management, understanding how the environment is performing, and what has to be done to optimize it. We use VMware Aria Operations for Logs for these purposes. We also use VMware Aria Operations for Logs to monitor non-VMware components as well. VMware Aria Operations for Logs is now part of a bigger suite with several modules added. You have an option to collect logs from various sources and then you can do some sorts of analytics from it as well. All of this can be done with VMware Aria Operations for Logs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The biggest benefit has been the reduction in troubleshooting and incident investigation time, as root-cause analysis has become roughly thirty to forty percent faster, allowing engineers to spend less time searching through logs and more time resolving issues."
"The most valuable feature is server virtualization. It's been very useful."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"The solution's simplicity, flexibility, and extensibility are valuable features as we can integrate everything in vRealize."
"It is very scalable and can handle a large workload."
"I like the interface."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log, and it can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"It provides multiple platforms, you can use a Windows Operating System, you can Mac, and you can use Linux on a particular server."
"Log Insight seems to be better than other solutions in terms of very good integrations and working out items to be able to log."
 

Cons

"On the pricing side, observability platforms can become expensive as data volume grows."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"They should improve their web interface to make it more user-friendly."
"The tool is expensive."
"The tool could benefit from improved filter settings and dashboarding."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
"In vRealize login files, we have limitations regarding log partitions."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
"It is not cheap. But it is worth it."
"The pricing has been updated recently."
"The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."
"The product's price is reasonable, but when it comes to SQL licensing, it's a bit expensive."
"I think it is a reasonably priced product."
